Our Team is Focused on Leadership

Authentic leadership develops steadily over time

True leadership isn’t something that happens overnight. It’s something that gets established through practice and hard-won victories. At Kopis, we’ve been in the business for nearly twenty years. Combined, our senior management has over five decades of experience. That’s more than just a lot of knowledge, it’s a seasoned track record of working toward breakthroughs and solutions for organizations looking to solve their biggest problems.

As the oldest and most well-established software development firm in the southeast, we’ve racked up some credentials and some industry recognitions. Our team has achieved Microsoft’s Gold Competency in Application Development. We’re also honored to have been named as one of the 20 most promising .NET Development Solution Providers in the nation, chosen by a distinguished panel of CEO’s, CIO’s, VC’s, industry analysts as well as the editorial board of CIO Review.

A Passion for Lifelong Learning

Often, those who teach leadership like to remind students that running a successful company “is a marathon, not a sprint.” While that’s true in most industries, it’s less true in our industry. It’s difficult to stay up-to-date, let alone stay ahead, in the ever-changing tech industry.

A long time ago, Kopis committed itself to a process of lifelong learning. No matter how well established a technology development firm is, there is always room for improvement, opportunities for growth, new ways we can understand and serve our clients better. In fact, because we’ve been fortunate to provide significant, game-changing solutions over and over for industry giants like BMW, Michelin, and so many others, we’ve been able to learn from these projects, bringing lessons learned from large, established market-leaders to the table when we help smaller, rapid-growth organizations think outside the box, challenge paradigms, and think differently than they way their legacy systems have trapped them into thinking, limiting expectations of “what’s possible.” Sure, if we’re honest, sometimes we feel like we’re sprinting. Or like we’re trying to take a sip from a fire hose. Maybe you feel that way, too? Over the years, we’ve seen the focus shift substantially toward data-based decision making, with the sheer volume of data becoming a hurdle for many companies. That’s why, at Kopis, we not only use agile process for our development projects, we practice it to continuously improve our company. Implement a change, measure the result of the change, see what we’ve learned, and tackle the problem again. We believe in being agile, flexible – scalable. We believe in letting our smart, talented team members propose ingenious solutions. It’s a great way to approach a problem, to run a company, and to live a life. So, relax. We’ll all figure it out together, if everyone is willing to keep on learning.

Committed Leadership

A Desire to Serve Our Community

Being a leader is about more than excelling in your field, being the first to master a new product, or trying to out do your competition. At Kopis, we believe that true leaders bring others along with them and are confident enough in their abilities to share their expertise with others. That’s why we invest a lot of time and resources in our industry, our region, and our community. We’re proud to be a leading software solutions provider, but we’re even prouder to be community leaders in our own backyard in Greenville, South Carolina. The southeast region is growing almost as quickly and changing almost as rapidly as the information technology sector. Since our company was founded, we have been promoting our region’s status as an entrepreneurial, software development and technology hub through organizations like the NEXT initiative, which seeks to expand the tech industry and support entrepreneurism in the Upstate. In 2015, to further add leadership, resources and support to our region’s technology and industry infrastructure, we launched KopisCares™, giving grants to local and regional organizations whose missions are rooted in education, entrepreneurship, and economic development.

Let’s Work Together

We believe you’ll discover a unique difference between our team and most custom software development firms. Much like them, our first few years, we were simply working hard “in the business.” However, after two decades, the business is in us.

We know the next few weeks, possibly months, will provide an unprecedented challenge for our clients, partners, friends and fellow local businesses. We want to make sure everyone is aware that despite COVID-19, Kopis remains stronger than ever, fully committed to providing the absolute best to those who have placed trust in us.

Kopis has complied with CDC recommendations, and have asked all employees to work-remotely during this outbreak. Our full team of over 40 technology experts are still working diligently on your projects, meeting important deadlines and remain dedicated to having a positive impact on your businesses. All meetings will be held virtually through Microsoft Teams. Our team members are available during regular hours and available to answer calls and emails as usual.

It’s a time of unity, and Kopis is proud to stand by our clients and help them continue to meet their goals through the challenges ahead. We remain grateful to our community, proud of our nation and hopeful for the future ahead in Greenville, South Carolina’s emerging tech scene.

We remain open. We remain fully equipped. We are here for you as you navigate these waters.
